At the day of this report (08/30/2020), 44,002 new cases have been confirmed and 464 new fatalities have been reported.
Cases by Race/Ethnicity, data from 4,508,060 cases. Race/Ethnicity was available for 2,224,387 (49%) cases.
Deaths by Race/Ethnicity, Data from 135,840 deaths. Race/Ethnicity was available for 111,958 (82%) deaths.
Caucasian population account for nearly 51% of the confirmed fatality and 40.4% of the confirmed positive cases.
Although Hispanic population account for 31% of the confirmed cases, only 6.9% of the fatalities are Hispanic.
If we compare using number of confirmed positive cases, Hispanic, Pacific Islander and Other Non-Hispanic are hit hardest. Their numbers of cases per 100,000 are nearly triple that of White and Asian.
If we compare using number of confirmed fatality, Black Americans and Other non-Hispanic are at highest risk for fatality and they suffer from disproportionate deaths due to COVID 19.
The overall fatalities per 100,000 for Black Americans is about 2 times as high as it is for white and Asian Americans.
Cases by age group, data from 4,508,060 cases. Age group was available for 4,346,546 (96%) cases.
Deaths by age group: data from 135,840 deaths. Age group was available for 135,823 (99%) deaths.
Although people from 18 - 64 year-old account for 76.3% confirmed cases, 79.3% of fatalities are from people older than 64 year-old.
Fatality rate changes sharply from 65 - 74 years group, staggeringly rises from 8.5% (65 - 74 years) to 29.3% (85 years and older).
Over 54% of fatalities are male.
In every age groups, we always have more fatality in male group than that of female, except 85+ years.
Considering that we have approximately equal cases distribution between male and female in nearly every age groups, we can conclude that male population is more susceptible to dying due to COVID 19.
